I get a lot of customers who ask about the unit system. I’ve included screenshots so please click multiple times on the images below and you will see a full screenshot.

Example 1. Moneyline bet Twins vs Royals. The Capper picked the home team, Royals, at -113. The pick was wrong so the units would be set at a loss of 113 or Down 113. This means that based on a standard bet of $113 to win $100 (@ -113), as he picked the favorite he lost $113.

Example 2. Moneylinie bet Yankees vs Angels on 6/4/2011. The away team (Yankees) were the favorite (-140). This means that for every $140 you bet on the Yankees you would win $100. As the Yankees won the game the unit result is +100 or UP 100.

Example 3: Runline situation on 5/13/2011, Pirates vs the Brewers. The capper picked the runline (-1.5, +135) on the home team. This means (in baseball, hockey runline is always +/- 1.5), This means that the home team must win by 2 runs or more and the payout would be $135 for every $100 risked (or wagered). As Milwaukee won 5-2 , then beat the Pirates by 3 which exceeds the (-1.5) runline. Therefore as that condition is met, the payout of +135 is in play. As you can see on the grading form , the Unit results is up 135 Units.
